Discoverer of the Signs of God and
Master of Generosities and Cleaver of
Habitual Disposition. His Holiness
Sheikh AbolBarakat. In all the biography
books is cited by his family name and
not by his respectable name. He had a
high position in mysticism and in
certitude had a distinguished rank, such
that one of the illumined righteous in
his honor has said:

Hundred thousands Sheikhs appeared and
died,

till one such as Abol Barakat
manifested.

He was simultaneously during the same
period of Sheikh Moudood Chishti and
Seyed Ahmad bin Hassan-e-Refaie. He was
the successor and vicegerent of Sheikh
Abolfazl Baghdadi and after him
undertook the guidance of worshippers
and initiation of the seekers of the
road to the truth and from among the
disciples and those who were trained by
His Holiness Abol Barakat, the most
perfect is Sheikh Abu Masood Andalusi,
who under the Sheikh’s auspices kindness
reached perfection and became the
vicegerent and successor of His Holiness
and on behalf of the Sheikh was
appointed to guide the worshippers. The
date of Abol Barakat’s death has not
been recorded.

Excellent temperament is more virtuous
than any superiority and the essence of
men are manifested by good temperament.
And said: the criterion of Sufism is
temperament and whoever has a better
temperament, he is a better Sufi.
